If the tires are the stock size, I would look at the vehicle speed sensor as a probable source for the issue.

Was the speed sensor attached to the transmission?
I have never seen one that is not.
You of course always have the psosibility that the speedometer is broken. You should get one from s a salvage yard. If you need help locating one, the search eninge on this site will help to find one near you. Just look at the ads that come up on the page.

Yes it was, I know my speedo works because I went through a speed trap located down the road from me a few times carefully noting the speed I was going and what the speed trap said, all is good there, next week im going to see if the VSS wire is grounding out somewhere, it just boggles my mind that its ONLY the odometer not working, again I appreciate the answers
